(May 2018 Crime Report: Spotcrime.com)
Recent crime reports from Spotcrime.com reveal criminal activity in the surrounding area. Was the apartment complex owner aware of prior local crime? If so, what additional security measures, such as gated-entry, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were implemented to protect residents and deter future crime?
Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner or management failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Tyree Mitchell may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.
Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim’s family retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
